The man of the match is Melvyn Jaminet. USAP fans are having a blast on social networks, proud of their young prodigy whom they have admired for more than a year but whom rugby France discovered this summer. A USAP player in the France team, it had not happened for more than seven years so see one who now shines in the blue jersey, it’s a real pride for the fans of the USAP.
Against Argentina, “the nugget” scored 19 of the 29 points of the France team. With his eye half closed a few minutes after taking the ball in the face, he was interviewed on France 2, viewers having designated him man of the match: the talent of gold, the oldest will say.
As in all the matches of the XV of France since the dawn of time, there is always a Catalan flag in the spans. There was at least one Saturday night. Five USAP fans attended the match, first because they like the France team but with Melvyn Jaminet in number 15, it adds motivation and pride.
Sébastien, Louisa, Erwann, Jules and Enrique dressed in blue, white, red and blood-and-gold: “It’s always exceptional to see the Blues at the Stade de France. In addition, now there is a team full of youth, it’s super pleasant to see, it’s motivating. It is always a moment of celebration with the supporters of all the other clubs. When there is a Catalan player, we also go there to support him. I had the USAP beret, we had a flag, we wanted to show that the Catalans were there“, says Sébastien.
We screamed and Melvyn came
All that remained was to be noticed by Melvyn Jaminet : “We were well placed in the stadium and we were visible with the colors of the USAP. When the players returned for the warm-up, at one point he was not far from us and I took the opportunity to call him. He saw us, we showed him the Catalan flag but he was focused on his match and that’s normal, he didn’t give us a sign. “
The five friends therefore waited after enjoying the victory of the Blues with the hope of having a sign from Melvyn Jaminet during the lap of honor: “We were especially expecting Melvyn and he was the last to do the honor lap since he was the star of the evening, he was so excellent. He was interviewed on TV so we took our trouble to wait for him and when he walked past us, we shouted, we called him. He smiled, he waved his hand and then came over. He took the picture with us. It’s really nice. It’s super nice as a supporter that the players also give back what you give them. It’s a pride to have a USAP player like that in the France team, Melvyn is a very, very great player and he will still help USAP. “
The photo of this moment was shared on the social networks of the five fan friends who will not soon forget this match and this moment with Melvyn Jaminet “our champion” as added as a comment on their photo.
